As I Was Saying Earlier This Week...

UF names Dan Mullen this guy as its next football coach.

Let me be among the first to welcome Bill Westchamp to Gator Nation as UF's next head football coach. The press conference would have been televised earlier tonight on ESPN, but they had some awards ceremony or something going on...probably the ESPYs.

Anyways, Coach Westchamp as I understand it was the next in line at Texas, but since Mack Brown isn't close to death like Bobby Bowden, Bill decided to head east.

As I read more about this guy (and please excuse me while I read more about this guy) it appears as though he's been a very good defensive coordinator, an excellent recruiter, and he's a native of Gainesville.

So far so good. (still reading up on Coach Muskstamp...)

His coaching stops included Texas, Auburn, LSU and the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Westchase played college football at the University of Georg....um, this has to be a misprint. No way in hell UF would hire a former UGA player would they? I'm sure there's an explanation for this, so I'll reserve judgment about this guy's background until after National Signing Day.

In the meantime, I welcome Coach Trampstamp to Gainesville with open arms. Gator Nation is behind you coach. No pressure...just win every game and we will love you conditionally.
